الوصف: The performance, whether satisfactory or unsatisfactory, achieved in day-to-day tasks may vary according to several environmental synchronizers, such as 24-hour light-dark cycle. For instance, the human performance on physical and/or cognitive demanding activities achieve its best during day, when body temperature reaches a circadian peak. Moreover, individual differences in the circadian peaks in temperature along with individuals’ timing of sleep is referred to as chronotype. Here, we aimed to answer if in a Brazilian full-time school of early start time (a) the chronotypes affect the students’ performance; (b) there are differences between the students’ performance according to their chronotypes. We expected to find (a) a positive effect of the morning chronotype on the students’ performance, particularly in subjects that take place in early morning; (b) while a negative effect of the evening chronotype in that same period. To address the effect of the chronotype on the students’ scholar performance we build a Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM). Results show that the students’ chronotype affects both their subjective and school-declared performance. In sum, we add evidence for the effect that individual chronotypes have on the students’ performance in a Brazilian full-time middle school. Our results shows that evening-type students are expected to have an increase of 0.038 (p = <0.05) log counts on their performance in Portuguese classes compared to other chronotypes. Results also support the hypothesis that the students’ performance is partially because of their chronotype. Distinctive features of the studied Brazilian full-time middle school are discussed.
